Kongu style Mutton Curry

Winter is not my favorite season. Coming from a place where even the winter temperature never go below 70F it was hard getting used to the frigid temperatures. Once the clock falls back and the darkness falls things start to look a bit depressing and thoughts of my home country come fast and furious.

Anyway something happened a couple of years ago. Winter temperatures do not bother me that much. Maybe it is global warming that has kept winter temperatures relatively mild or I have lived her long enough that I have gotten used to the cold and how to deal with it.
The winter temperatures also make me crave spicy but familiar foods especially mutton curry the way my mom makes it. The funny thing is my mom grew up in a strictly vegetarian home where the chicken cannot even walk in the yard seriously that is not an exaggeration.

Anyway these days she is back to not eating non-veg after a brief period of eating them. I am not sure if she enjoyed them or not.
If I ask if the kids want chicken or mutton they usually pick chicken. The spices and the method of preparation works for both.
